Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Everything! It's a traditional inn experience with all the staff wearing Yukata and being extremely nice. The room was quite big with separate toilets and a huge wardrobe. It was quiet at the time of our stay. You can use Yukatas in the hotel included in the price They have public baths that we enjoyed a lot (on the top floor). The dinner we had was fantastic with many options (I took beef with Wagyu that came with 7 other plates of vegetables, miso soups, tofu, rice, etc''' My partner took the sushi option that was delicious as well and plenty to eat).

GreeceAs mentioned by the hotel its central location implies some noise from early morning. Nothing too much however. There is also quute some light in the room from early morning vut I guess that is normal for a ryokan.
It was quite close to the Kyoto station. The staff was very kind and very helpful. Their english were also great. The room was spacious especially in comparison to other hotels. We did not try the onsen or breakfast.

We spent a wonderful time at Ryokufuso, everything was perfect. Access to the Ryokan was super easy, it was like 8 minutes walk from the train. It's in the center, therefore many possibilities of transportation. Dinner and breakfast were perfect, we had the choice between Japanese and Western breakfast, both were delicious. Room was clean and well designed. The hot bath tied the bow. Thanks a lot, we had a great time with the wonderful staff.

AustraliaHonestly nothing, if I had to be super super nitpicky then it would be the fact that it takes 20 minutes to go to main shopping area by bus. But if that's a long time to you you need to reconsider your privilege. Also like 5 minutes from Kyoto station.
Seriously best hotel we booked in all of Japan, and we booked 3 before this. Staff went the extra extra mile, very clean and authentic Japanese experience. It was also the biggest hotel we've been to. Location was good from the station, to the main shopping district is a little far but overall amazing experience. If you don't mind travelling like 20 minutes by bus to the shopping district (we didnt) then it's phenomenal location

AustraliaWas a little bit of a walk from the train station with bags which could easily be fixed by a taxi ride vice the walk.
The property was beautifully presented with modern fittings throughout and an Onsen overlooking the city. And the staff were amazing and were able to speak English if needed.
